The champagne Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Blanc de Blancs, vintage 2002 from the winery Champagne Perrier-Jouët has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl MW with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Chardonnay from the region Côte des Blancs in France.
Hints of bitter fir honey precede notes of molten wax and Mirabelle plum on the nose of this golden wine. The palate is just simply silky, the mousse is utterly creamy, very fine. The body is super-slender, but the flavours are immense, expansive. They unleash a sea of umami flavours, name-checking nori seaweed, dashi broth, more waxiness and more of that bitter fir honey note. This is a wonderful contradiction: utterly toned, smooth and silky yet so deeply salty, rich and resonant. Most gastronomic, incredibly long.
